Just Ask!

The Rose Theater 2001 Farnam Street, Omaha

As a diverse group of kids gathers to create a community garden, they learn about one another’s abilities, challenges, and strengths. Guided by Sonia, they discover that each of them has a unique way of being in the world, and that those very differences are what make their friendships and their garden bloom. Featuring multicultural songs in the spirit of Schoolhouse Rock and Sesame Street, this colorful musical will help you learn how to “just ask” about what makes each of us extraordinary!
